Surprise Surprise
make your do’s
match your says
pick up the goddamned garbage
“they” can’t always do it for you
life, live it
draw your head from the keg
move damnit
mark the globe
stroke a tree, a child, a leaf
look through your veil of tears
hazy though it may be
budge yourself, love yourself
find god in your glass of beer
count your cliche blessings
surprise, surprise…
